Sadly, I don't think such an app exists. I've been looking ever since I got a Win7 tablet.

Blio sounded like it was going to be it, but as you discovered, epub support in nearly non-existant (it will download epub from feedbooks, then convert it to XPS). Even if you convert them yourself to XPS, it's still cludgy and buggy.

Hopefully someone will come up with something, as ebooks start to take off.

You could also have a look at the EpubReader plugin for Firefox as it has settings to set the book as a two-page view. It doesn't have the page turning effect but it is pretty good and its the one that I use as my default epub reader on my tablet PC.

I am also looking for an ereader like iBook, that reads multimedia epub format. Is there something out there that can do that? All the ones posted cannot read a video (mp4) or audio(mp3) files embedded in an epub.

For ereader use in a school without mobile equipment for everyone, we would like to be able to use ereader that is iBook like on the school laptops. Being able to have the ereader locally would eliminate the need for accessing the internet -

Having this capability would allow us to plan more projects with students using epub format.

Any ideas?

You are a bit ahead of the curve. ePub as currently released does not support mp4 or mp3. The current release is version 2 and version 3 is still just a talking version, not yet released or implemented. Version 3 does do what you want. This is also an HTML5 issue so browsers running HTML5 will have this feature but it is not yet released as a standard either although Apple is pushing it.

There is an online site that allows you to create multimedia epubs that can be read online using Chrome. Chrome supports video and audio. You can download the epub for use with mobile devices such as iPad that supports multimedia video/audio. Take a look at [pirate site], or for education groups, try [pirate site] that supports group sharing of epub ebooks.

Chrome, like the iPad does support HTML5 but I didn't mention it as it is not the target platform the OP wanted. Chrome OS is only recently released with hardware. I have it in the wiki.
